Currently watching This Morning which I taped (funnily enough) this morning lol. There's a woman on called Katie who will not let her children play with kids with common names such as Tyler or Charmaine. Now if I'm honest from what I've read about her she's really just a rent a mouth who will say anything controversial to get onto tv (though the bit where Holly lost her temper and told her to just stop it was priceless) so I'm not sure if she actually believes what she's saying or not, but there are people messaging the show who agree with her! I've never heard anything so stupid in my life. Philip and Holly obviously agreed as gave a big list of Olympic gold medal winners and high business people with 'common' names. But it just shows how judgemental some parents are. I've heard some parents in the playground commenting on what other parents are wearing and what they do for a living and it drives me mad. We're about as scummy as you can get on the surface, Dad on benefits, Mum doesn't work, I remember going to see the dentist and registering the kids and when they both had the same surname the woman said surprised 'Oh they have the same dad?!' nearly slapped her. But we are not a Jeremy Kyle family. I'd love to work, so would Mark. We don't smoke, don't drink, kids do homework every night and have never been late to school. Ugh, snobby people drive me mad.
Ok rant done :) Well each month a blog 'Counterfeit kit challenge' shows a kit which you can buy or make a similar one from your own stash. They then do challenges to use it all up. :) These are the papers I picked for mine. :)
I think you've got plenty there Gemma, welcome to CKCB - it's addictive and don't forget to add it to Mr Linky :)
ReplyDeleteLoads of fab stuff there Gemma - you've got plenty to keep you going for a while :)
ReplyDeletePeople can be very judgmental (including me) when they don't know the full story, but common names - really?
Looking forward to seeing what you do with your kit. Well I don't think you can get more common than Karen - virtually every other person I meet these days shares my name - in my nursing set of 14 people, 3 of us were Karen's and in my class at school, there were 5 of us.
ReplyDeleteWow...Just Wow. I would have never been allowed to be around her children...I mean Ashley come on every other girl and every Fifth boy is named Ashley!! In my 8th grade class there were 8 of us in Lit.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the kit. You have got plenty there. I can't wait to see what you do with it!!
I've got a very unusual name but all my friends have common names.What a moron!
ReplyDeleteLove your kit so much.Those papers are scrummy.Good luck with using them.
Looks FAB! And if you run short, emergency stash-diving IS acceptable, lol :~)
ReplyDeletebless you, and your kit looks gorgeous
ReplyDeleteYou have done a wonderful job with your kit. Hope you have tons of fun creating this month and can't wait to see what you do with it!
ReplyDeleteI saw that interview on the net - silly woman!!! Glad that Holly & Philip & the other guest all disagreed so strongly.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a great kit here Gemma - have fun with it - and WELCOME to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog
Looks like a great kit!! You will have fun with this one.
ReplyDeleteWelcome!!!usually the first kit is a freebie...you see what you get out of it and then next month, you'll know whether it was too big, too small or just right! Absolutely love the chipboards!
